Keep these in my pocket for the grocery or other shopping. I can walk around with them on (Low on my nose) and only use the magnification when I need it. Read one review saying they are flimsy, I disagree, they are flexible and light weight, wouldn't say they are flimsy. You'd have to bend them a long way to break them. rn

The Atlas is a Terrific Buy6/1/2017

These readers are very comfortable and I keep them in my purse. I don't know if the lenses scratch easily, because I keep them in a hard case. They fit well and they don't "fall down my nose." They are quite attractive and the frames are light.

You're better off with a full frame.2/26/2016

I purchased a variety of frames, and overall am very happy with readers.com. This particular kind of frame, however.. at least with the Atlas and the Garrison.. tend to separate from the lenses, which are held in by a thin vinyl strand, akin to fishing line or dental floss. I also found the lightweight nature of these readers awkward, because they are not held down by gravity. Instead, they bounce on your nose.

Pros

Lightweight, Stylish

Cons

Break Easily, Flimsy

I have purchased five of this Atlas design1/24/2016

Comments

Recently had cataracts removed and no longer need glasses for distance; however I do need optical assistance for the computer and reading. I've purchased 3 pair of +1.00 and 2 pair of +1.25. The +1.00s are for computer use (different locations) and the +1.25s are for close up reading.rnrnWhen it comes to glasses, I'm a minimalistic so I like the lack of rims across the tops of the lenses and the very slender temple pieces but they would not take wanton rough handling, though they do have positive spring loading and gives the feeling of quality, given the slenderness of the frames.rnrnI wish they were available with anti-glare and scratch resistant coatings --- they do smudge easily.

Liked them, ...but not sturdy enough2/4/2016

Wished the metal used was sturdier. The bow snapped off with only two months of office-area use (light use). Bummer.

Excellent product5/4/2016

These are great for reading. I read a lot and these are better for reading than my current prescription "no lines" lenses. They are comfortable and the magnification is perfect for me. The spring hinges and lightweight design are great for this price range reader. Love them!
